ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of different occlusal reduction design on stress distribution and fracture resistance of different endocrown systems. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Sixty-four maxillary human premolars with endodontic treatment, prepared for endocrowns were divided into 2 groups (n = 32) according to the occlusal design: Butt joint preparation (B group) and Anatomical preparation (A group). Each group were subdivided into four groups according to ceramic systems: IPS E max CAD (EM group), monolithic zirconia (ZR group), Nacera Hyprid (NH group) and PEKKTON (PE group). After manufacturing of endocrowns and adhesive bonding the specimens were thermomechanically loaded and subsequently they were tested in a universal testing machine for evaluating the fracture resistance. The specimens failure mode was qualitatively assessed. The stress distribution in each group was assessed using three-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA). 1-way ANOVA and the Post Hoc Tukey HSD test were used to evaluate the data (a = .05). RESULTS: The fracture resistance values between the groups showed statistically significant variations. The B PE and A PE groups had a higher ratio of fracture resistance values. Regarding failure mode, ceramic endocrowns recorded mainly irreparable failures. FEA showed that anatomical occlusal preparation have reduced the stress concentration under all endocrown systems. CONCLUSION: Endocrowns could be used to restore endodontically treated maxillary premolars. PEKKTON endocrowns with anatomical preparations revealed most appropriate restoration. The tested new endocrown systems enhanced the biomechanical performance of the tooth. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The innovative endocrown systems (PEKK, Nacera Hyprid) can be seen as a promising choice for restoration of severely-destructed endodontic treated premolars, with less stress transmit to the residual tooth structure. Although the traditional endocrown technology might increase the longevity of tooth bonding, it shouldn't be used for clenching cases since the risk of failure is too great overall.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To assess and compare the impact of various computers aided design/manufacturing (CAD/CAM) materials on internal and marginal discrepancies, fracture resistance and failure probability of Endocrown restorations with 3D Finite Element analysis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Forty devitalized human maxillary first molars were collected. After endodontic treatment, they classified into 4 groups (n = 10) based on the materials used for endocrown fabrication. Group V (Vita-Enamic), Group N (Nacera Hybrid), Group T (Translucent Prettau Zirconia) and Group P (Pekkton ivory). All samples were exposed to artificial aging method simulating one year of clinical service. Silicone replica technique and stereomicroscope (25X) utilized to evaluate the marginal and internal gaps of endocrowns at different areas. Fracture resistance test used for cemented specimens followed by qualitative investigation utilizing Stereomicroscopy. Four models representing four endocrown systems used for restoration of severely-damaged endodontically treated upper first molar were generated for finite element analysis (FEA). Axially and centrally static occlusal compressive load was applied. Modified Von Mises and maximum principal stress values on the remaining tooth structure, cement lines and restorative materials were assessed independently. Resulted data were statistically analyzed at P-value ≤ 0.05. RESULTS: In the current study, the highest mean values of internal and marginal discrepancies (µm) among studied groups were reported for Zirconia group (100.300 and 102.650) respectively, while the lowest mean value of internal discrepancy (µm) was observed for Nacera group (69.275) and the lowest mean value of marginal discrepancy (µm) was observed for PEKK group (78.4750). Regarding internal discrepancy, Vita-Enamic and PEKK groups did not exhibit any statistically significant differences (P = 0.293), however zirconia and the other tested groups exhibited statistically significant differences in the mean values of the marginal gap region (p 0.05).On the other hand, PEKK group showed the highest mean value of fracture resistance (1845.20 N) and the lowest value was observed for Vita-Enamic group (946.50 N). Regarding to stress distributions through 3D FEA, and according to modified von Mises (mvM) analysis, the greatest possible stress values were noticed in PEKK model in relation to tooth structure, cement line, and flowable composite as the following: (93.1, 64.5, 58.4 MPa) respectively, while Zirconia revealed lower maximum stress values (11.4, 13.6, 11.6 MPa) respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Statistically excellent marginal and internal fit was observed for PEKK in relation to other used endocrown materials. Also, PEKK material explained fracture resistance comparable to zirconia value while the lowest value was detected for Vita Enamic material.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To study the fracture resistance and stress distribution pattern of translucent zirconia and fiber-reinforced composite cantilever resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses (RPFDPs) with two retainer designs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty human mandibular molars were divided into two groups according to the retainer design. The restorations included a premolar pontic and 2 retainer designs: (D1) inlay ring retainer and (D2) lingual coverage retainer. Each main group was then divided according to the material used (n = 10): zirconia (Z) or fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) (F). Restorations were cemented using dual polymerizing adhesive luting resin. All specimens were thermo-cycled (5-55 °C for 10,000 cycles), then subjected to dynamic loading (50 N, 240,000, and 1.6 Hz) and fracture resistance test. The finite element analysis includes the two models of retainer designs used in the in vitro test. Modified von Mises stress values on enamel, dentin, luting resin, and restorations were examined when the restorations failed. RESULTS: A significantly higher failure load was recorded for zirconia groups (505.00 ± 61.50 and 548.00 ± 75.63 N for D1Z and D2Z, respectively) than for FRC groups (345.00 ± 42.33 and 375.10 ± 53.62 N for D1F and D2F, respectively) (P = 0.001). With regard to failure mode, D2 showed a more favorable failure pattern than D1. Model D2 resulted in lower stresses in tooth structure than model D1, and zirconia transmitted more stresses to the tooth structure than FRC. CONCLUSIONS: The lingual coverage retainer (D2) enhanced the biomechanical performance of the restoration/tooth complex. Considering the failure mode and tooth stress, FRC is a promising treatment option when constructing a cantilever RPFDP. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Dentists should be aware of the biomechanical behavior during the selection of the material and for the replacement of a single missing mandibular premolar tooth with minimally invasive RBFDP.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To evaluate the fracture load and stress magnitude of different retainer designs of minimally invasive cantilever resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses (RBFDPs) after artificial aging. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty caries-free human mandibular molars were prepared as abutments for cantilever fixed dental prostheses using different retainer designs: one wing (OW), two wings (TW), inlay ring (IR), lingual coverage (LC), and occlusal coverage (OC). Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing were used for milling the RBFDPs using fiber-reinforced composite (FRC), and the restorations were adhesively bonded. The specimens were then subjected to thermomechanical aging and loaded until failure. The 3D finite element analysis (FEA) was performed with five models of retainer designs similar to the in vitro test. Modified von Mises stress values on enamel, dentine, luting resin, and restorations were examined. Data were analyzed with Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests (p < 0.001). RESULTS: A statistically significant difference (p < 0.001) was found between all groups except between IR and LC and between OW and TW designs, with the highest mean failure load detected for OC (534.70 N) and the lowest detected for OW (129.80 N). With regard to failure mode, OW, TW, and LC showed more incidences of favorable failure patterns than IR and OC designs. FEA showed that FRC transmitted low stresses in tooth structure and high stresses to the luting resin. CONCLUSIONS: LC and OC designs can be used to design cantilever RBFDPs in premolar area. IR design transmitted more stresses to the tooth structure and resulted in 30% catastrophic failure. OW and TW were below the normal occlusal force and should be carefully used.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Rehabilitation of endodontically treated premolars with extensive coronal destruction through endocrown approach remains a controversial topic in reconstructive dentistry. There is no clear consensus in the literature which endocrown design with which material is the most effective restoration option for severely-destructed endodontically treated premolars. The aim of this study was to assess the biomechanical behavior of endodontically treated maxillary first premolars restored with a novel endocrown system compared to the conventional one varying the applied load type through finite element and in vitro analyses. MATERIALS AND METHODS: For finite element analysis, two models representing two endocrown systems used for restoration of severely-destructed endodontically treated maxillary first premolar tooth were generated: Model C for the conventional monolithic IPS e.max CAD endocrown and Model P for the novel bi-layered endocrown (PEKKTON ivory coping veneered with cemented IPS e.max CAD). Modified von Mises stress values on the remaining tooth structure, cement lines and restorative materials were evaluated separately under axial and oblique loading of 450 N. For in vitro analysis, forty sound human bifurcated maxillary first premolars were collected, endodontically-treated, and divided into 2 main groups (n = 20) according to the system used for endocrown fabrication; Group C: the conventional monolithic endocrowns and Group P: the novel bi-layered endocrowns. All specimens were subjected to an artificial thermomechanical aging protocol. Each main group was subdivided into two subgroups (n = 10) according to the loading type (axial and oblique) applied during the fracture resistance test. Qualitative analysis using Stereomicroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy was performed. Data were statistically analyzed at p-value ≤ 0.05. RESULTS: Regarding stress distribution pattern of remaining tooth structure (enamel and dentin), both endocrown systems and cement lines under both axial and oblique load application, Model P resulted in lower stresses than Model C. The oblique stress values of all analyzed structures were higher than corresponding values resulted axially. Considering failure load, a significantly higher load was recorded for Group P when axial or oblique loading was applied (p = 0.00). A significantly higher failure load was recorded with axial loading for both main groups. With regard to failure mode, a statistically significant difference was observed between main groups (p = 0.033), with more favorable failures detected for Group P axially. CONCLUSIONS: Compared to the conventional endocrown system, the studied novel system improved the biomechanical behavior within tooth/restoration complex of the restored severely-destructed endodontically treated maxillary first premolar teeth, whatever the applied load type. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The novel endocrown system using a PEKK coping veneered with cemented IPS e.max CAD can be considered a favorable promising option for restoration of severely-destructed endodontically treated premolar teeth, with more protection for residual tooth structure. It can be considered as a conservative alternative option to the conventional treatment modalities not only for normal clinical conditions, but also for parafunctional cases.
